I  don't understand the internals of Midas, but did help maintain a
product that used 3-tier (with midas application server).  Could one
implement a application server using SOAP instead?  I remember reading
an article (I think his name was Brian Long or Dr.Bob) where he
created a standalone (very simple) webserver application using Indy's
server components and used that as the application server.  Then
connected with application clients via SOAP+HTTP.

Is something like this possible with FPC?  I guess the first question
is, do we have a webserver component for FPC? Secondly, does FPC
support SOAP?


What actually happens inside the midas.dll?
